...wrestling team developed a growing, rabid following last year, particularly after the Cornell win, and taking a date to the grimy IAB on a Saturday afternoon has become an in-crowd treat...
Williams, calling himself a middle-of-the-roader, has appealed to the "reasonable" element among segregationists and conservatives and has left Barnett try to out-scream Swan for the rabid-racist support. Williams has the distinct advantage of having lost his House seniority by supporting Republican Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election. This made a minor martyr of him.

Inexplicable Union. In this, her sixth novel, she deals with the France of the early 1960s, when De Gaulle was extricating his nation from the Algerian war and rabid rightists were murdering Arabs and detonating plastic bombs throughout France.

A courtly, starched-collar Vermonter who in 1951 left the sugar industry for diplomatic duty, Bunker is a tall, spare man who is known as a deft negotiator. As Ambassador to Argentina, he dealt with Dictator Juan Peron during a period of rabid Argentine anti-Americanism, had the satisfaction of seeing him exiled. In other troubleshooting assignments, he served as a mediator between Indonesia's Sukarno and The Netherlands during the 1962 West Irian crisis and as a go-between in the Yemen controversy a year later.
